Mama been let up, papa been let up,
My brother’s been let up, for more than 2 years now.
Who can’t get a job, Billie can’t get a job, no.
They gotta listen to the blues.
Help them to strike, help them to move on,
Help them to have some future, help them to live along.
Help them to live the life, help them to smile,
Don’t let them stay home and listen to the blues.
Papa been let up, mama been let up,
Billie can’t get a job for too long, too long.
Don’t let them lose, we gotta give them a chance,
There’s gonna come back on everyone if we don’t let them dance.
But don’t let them stay home and listen to the blues.
There’s nothing sacred, greed and hatred
And feel no pain.
We have to face it, no one can take it
And feel no pain.
Mama’s been let up, papa’s been let up,
My brother’s been let up, it’s been more than 2 years now.
Who can get a job? Billie can’t get a job, no.
They gotta listen to the blues.
Help them to strike, help them to move on,
Help them to have some future, help them to live along.
Help them to live the life, help them to smile,
But don’t let them stay home and listen to the blues.
One day we’re gonna wake up with ghettos all around
All over, my friends, have you ever seen a man way down?
Do you know how it feels to walk the streets with your head held high?
Oh, Lord, have mercy,
Did you ever see a man break down?
There’s nothing sacred, greed and hatred
And feel no pain.
We have to face it, no one can take it
And feel no pain.
Did you ever see a man break down?
